I think it's just about hanging on, not that I've got an account on there, Zuckerberg is more of a menace than Elmo. |

That is fair. Must be some uninhabited isle the UK owns somewhere. There's a dispute with Ireland over Rockall. I'm sure we can come to some kind of amicable, temporary, agreement though involving a selection of our fuckwits being added to the list. |

Elon is terminally online but can't be bothered to take 15 seconds out of his day to see if the article is correct or *shock* read it.

He's a doss cunt, for sure, but a lot of his recent ineptitude is also driven by him owning a failing media company. He's *so* obviously trying to drive views and engagement and the easiest way to do that is amplify hate content. When he brags about how much he works, he definitely puts tweeting bullshit on his timesheet.
I don't think he would be anywhere near as obnoxious if he didn't have loan repayments and was actually smart enough to think of a better way to service them. I'm sure the money he offered trump was just a bribe to get him back on the site.

I can't believe we've all forgotten how strong Elon's meme game is!

This is exactly the thing. If he hadn't bought twitter, he would still just be an annoying pick-me, meme thief. Now we are stuck with him also being a grifting agitator.

I don't think it can be emphasised enough, that everything would be so much easier for him if he just shut the fuck up. People would hate him less, he'd be in less legal trouble, Tesla stock would probably be worth more so he'd probably be even richer. Hell, he probably wouldn't have had to buy Twitter in the first place.
All of it ruined, because of his inability to shut the fuck up.

If he'd just taken it on the chin four years ago, shut his gob up and fucked off, he'd probably be easing gracefully lumberingly into retirement with a couple biographies and maybe a right wing show, and I don't even think he'd be facing nearly as many legal troubles with how long it took Garland and smaller courts to prosecute all the crap he's running away from now. FFS he didn't even seem happy in 2016 when he won and the entire room was celebrating! But nope, he had to keep screeching for four years and now not only is he on the hook for all kinds of shit that only the presidency can shield him from, not only will he never get the rematch against Biden that he evidently wants so badly (that one Truth post read like him going through a bad breakup) but he might lose again, and to a black woman (!) at that. |

Musk doesn't just want to be successful, he wants to be seen as cool and edgy. Alienating one group of people is a price worth paying if it gets him strong validation from a different group of people.

Can someone please post the Simpson's meme of weirdos taking a bullet for Muskrat?

Alienating one group of people is a price worth paying if it gets him strong validation from a different group of people. But he could still be seen as cool and edgy, if he shut the fuck up. If he stopped himself from saying dumb shit, even I could be like "oh yeah, it's that cool, mysterious inventor guy who makes planet-saving electric cars and builds rockets to Mars". He could be that kind of cool guy! (if not for his inability to shut the fuck up) |

Elmo suffers from Main Character Syndrome so badly it's a bit surprising it's not named after him.

Neil Gaiman hasn't posted anything on there for a month. Can't imagine why.
